a firewall could cause that, try checking to see if you firewall is blocking bf2 in its log, if so add bf2 to you allowed programs, another thing ive found is that joining thru xfire causes a lot less error connections than manually entering it

Hi initial, have you downloaded all the patches?

Are you running Special Forces?

Are you having problems connecting today?

You don't auto download maps, so don't worry about that.

You may also want to read this thread regarding problems running bf2:

Getting BF2 to run (http://forum.deadmen.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=11275)

Post again and let us know the details above and exactly what problems your having. Good luck.

You have to be running patch 1.12 for BF2 to join the server. If you haven't applied the patch you will need to .

My version of BF2 is 1.1.2554-356.0 so you seem to be running an older version. get the patch from http://eagames.co.uk/downloads.view.asp?dl_id=1310 (http://eagames.co.uk/downloads.view.asp?dl_id=1310)

You shouldn't have to turn off firewall if other games have played OK and you did not have to turn off or configure firewall for them

Actually, I said the backgroundprograms you don't need.
For me it's shutting down DownloadAccelarator, F@H and Xfire.
But check the links given. I'm still sorting my computer out with memorycards and all (PS Norm, I'm still working on it).

OS: Operating System: Windowns 2000/XP/NT.

Device Drivers: You need these for your graphics card/sound card. Newest patch for them.

BIOS, maybe one of the English can better say what you need to check for this.

Hope you undestrand what I'm typing here, I'm still Dutch never the less.

BIOS means Basic Input Output System.

I can't see that it should be necessary to mess around with the BIOS. Try switching your firewall off and then connecting. If it works, you need to give permissions for BF2.exe in your firewall.

What firewall do you use?

If you experience lag in-game, try to switch off antivirus and other programs running in the background that you don't need.

Have you updated to the latest version of BF2 yet? If not then you MUST do it before you start worrying about anything else on your computer.

That's not a firewall, it's a spyware detector.

Do you have Win XP? If so, there is a built-in firewall that might cause problems.

No, thats a antivirus scanner. However, it would be a good idea to shut down the antivirus scanner while playing BF2. Turn it on afterwars.

I firewall is a program (sometimes hardware in a router) which controls the connection to and from the internet. Sometimes the firewall will not let BF2 connect to other servers, and you need to give Bf2 permission.

I suggest you try to connect to another server, just to see if you are able to play online or if it is only the DMW-server that gives you problems.

I agree with BlueBall. Forget the firewall advice for now, and just try to connect with a server (any server in Bf2 will do).

If you experience lag in-game, try (temporarily) turning off the EZ antivirus and the MS Antispyware.

Did you download the patch? If so, doubleclick the file, and it should install itself autmoatically (this takes a little while).

Then you start up BF2 and try to join a server.

done everything, but annying is everytimes i open the game, the computer tell me need to update? i just did the 4 hours ago. and how i can unlock the weapons, so i dont need to keep pick up the weapon on the floor :(
Title: Help me!!!
Post by: DuVeL on December 22, 2005, 11:29:05 PM
Ehrm, dude. Your losing us on this 1.
First of all, it's not like CS:CZ, you can't pick up weapons from the floor unles you're switcing a kit with a dead guy. That's way to far in BF2 allready.

What I suggest:
Delete everything from BF2.

What kind of graphics card do you have? Are you sure it's in the list from BF2 that you can use it?

If so:
Install BF2.
Download the latest patch from BF2.
Then try to join our server and see what happens.
Also make SURE you have the latest drivers for your graphics card and soundcard.
Soundcard might not sound like a big 1 but it is!!!

Work from there.

Did you manage to join a game at all?

The message you get when opening the game (the menus) to get the update, you'll get even if you have the update. Check the version number of your BF2 (I think it is in the upper left corner). It should read 1.12-something. If it does, it's the right version.

If you are able to join a game and play (you mentioned something about picking up weapons... so I'm starting to think you've managed to go online), everything should be OK.

To unlock wepaons, you need to accumulate a certain number of points on ranked servers. When you have enough points, you can unlock a kit/weapon. I don't know the requirements for the different unlocks, but I am sure someone else on this forum knows (and will tell you).

Yep. But I think it is possible to turn off the message from EA, but I can't remember how. It is a good idea to leave it on, though, you'll be notified when there is updates available.

EDIT: Did you manage to get into an online game? Do you still have problems joing the dMw-server?

Play on ranked server. If you'll take a look before the servernames, some have like a sergeant sign infront of them. Those are rankedservers. Play on them and you can get points.
Just play the kits and see what happens.

Did you join a squad? Bring up the spawn map and select the sqad tab and either join a squad or create one. If you don't then we have some software running that will auto-kick you after a few minutes.
